* WATCHMAN WARNING: COMING TO GRIPS WITH OUR LIVES NOW

  

We believers in Jesus are all going to have to learn more and more to keep our eyes on the future that is ours, the coming time in Heaven with Jesus and his Father and then on earth when and after Jesus sets up Kingdom rule from Jerusalem.

 

We just can’t keep getting so distraught over all the ungodly behavior and rules and laws and practices of society today.  The government of America is obviously an ungodly one.  Many traditional churches are obviously lost, accepting behavior and lifestyles that are an abomination to God.  The leaders of so many areas of life are similarly lost.  And the daily outpouring of programs and entertainment and such is overflowing with ungodly material.  People are deluged with all that.

 

We must focus on the joy that is ours and is coming soon, just as Jesus looked to that joy in Hebrews 12:2.  And we have to focus on him always.

 

The world is a lost system.  The majority are just lost.  It is only a few that go with the Lord when he comes.  A remnant, a small number, whatever you want to call it.  Jesus himself said few are they who find it, referring to the way to true life.

 

By now I expect you are coming to the realization that these little sparks of hope that appear on earth in the form of a politician here or there or perhaps a small movement here or there are just that.  Small sparks and movements.  The mass are not going to be deterred in their unknowing march to the new world order, the new one-world government.  They are not going to be deterred in their march straight into hell following the white throne judgement that awaits them.

 

I just read a commentator pondering why in the recent election the results went so contrary to expectations.  And then he made the observation – the mass of the population just don’t think things are so bad – the economy, whatever.  They make decisions on how things are at the moment, on the economy of the moment.  And to them things obviously are ok.  The government is ok.  That sounds like that may be true.  And it sadly shows just how totally lost the majority is.

 

It is not a pretty picture.  It is not a hopeful picture for all those we know who are in that majority group.  But it is the way it is.  It is the truth.

 

We believers somehow must come to grips with the reality of what is happening and coming.  We know where we are in God’s time.  We know his plans.  We know.  It is just all so unpleasant looking at the world and wondering how to fix things that have gone so awry.

 

As I have written several times recently, we surely must represent Jesus in all the opportunities that come before us, all the encounters God arranges for us.  We must be guided by the Holy Spirit in this.  And thus we will be helping in God’s drawing people to Jesus.

 

We also must acknowledge the Lord before men.  We can’t just stand by and watch him be trashed by ungodly beings who don’t know what they are talking about.  But in stepping out at any time, we must always be guided by the Holy Spirit. 

 

Remember, Jesus did say that if we acknowledge him before men, he will acknowledge us before God the Father in Heaven.  But the reverse is also true.  He said if we deny him before men he will deny us before God the Father in Heaven.

 

Tough, unpleasant, severe times.  Keep your eyes on Jesus and live as he would have you live.  Fulfill all he has called you to, which of course includes whatever you may have heard directly from him as well as what he said to his believers in scripture.

* BEING THANKFUL

 As I write this I admit I wonder why should I or anyone have to write about being thankful on Thanksgiving.   Any living breathing human being should be able quickly to think of numerous reasons to be thankful to God.

What about just living, being created?  Having a safe place to live and food to eat.  Health?  Provision for daily life?  Family?  Friends?

 

How about Jesus?  Being thankful for all he has done. And the Holy Spirit?

 

Why not just read Psalm 100 and take it to heart.  Every word.

 

As the psalm says, know that the Lord is God.  It is he who has made us and we are his.  We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise.  Give thanks to the Lord.   Praise his name.

 

And the psalm goes on to say that the Lord is good.  His steadfastness endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.

 

That’s enough, isn’t it?

 

Or maybe you need to know that Jesus is holding this entire creation together.  Without him, it would just come apart, disintegrate, fly apart.  I know most don’t focus on that scripture, but it is there, over in Colossians 1:17.  Maybe we should thank him for that.  Or maybe for the fact that through him all things were made and without him nothing was made that has been made.

 

Maybe we should thank Father God for sending his son down here to create a way for us to him.  He didn’t have to do that.  Even when Jesus came, he didn’t have to go through it, the crucifixion, the taking upon himself of all our iniquities, all our sicknesses and diseases and pain, and overcoming all that and so much more – like death and the curses of the law and shame and regret.

 

I’m sure you can think of many more reasons to be thankful.  I just wanted to list a few possibilities.

 

God bless you all this Thanksgiving.  Keep your eyes on Jesus.  He is the source of all real joy and hope.  He is your future.  Right now he has been in heaven at the right hand of God while accommodations have been being prepared for us.  He in fact said he was going there to prepare a place for us.  And he is coming so very soon to get us and take us with him.

 

One last thing.  Continue to ask the Father to draw all those you know who don’t know the Lord to a saving knowledge of Jesus and thank him for that.  Thank him.

 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving. To be truthful, a believer in the Lord Jesus doesn’t need one specific Thanksgiving Day.  Every day is Thanksgiving Day.  Every day is a day of praise and thanksgiving to Jesus and the Father.  Everyday.

 

God bless you all.

* WATCHMAN WARNING! - SILENCE

 “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

 

 

The famous German pastor killed by the Nazi government in WWII wrote this many years ago.  It applied directly to what he was seeing around him.  And its truth applies to us today.

 

I would suggest all believers in the Lord will have ample opportunity to deal with this observation in these last days and to decide whether they are going to be silent or to speak out and act.

 

Evil abounds in our society. The movement to the one-world government is going ahead full steam.  What do you think this global warming movement is all about?  Yes, I know, naïve and confused people – especially young college students – are ardent about the subject.  But the fact remains it is an effort to bring the world under one government.   And much more.  At the recent meeting in Egypt of world leaders on this subject, the issue of population again came up.  Some of these leaders and other elite firmly believe there are too many people in the world.  Terrifying.  These are terrifying leaders.  The World Economic Forum which is so at the front of this movement is terrifying.  The UN is terrifying.  

 

At least, all these should be terrifying to all believers who realize what they are doing and where this is heading. 

 

Sadly, most people on earth haven’t got a clue.

 

Many millions in the US just elected or reelected persons fully supporting this movement, whether they realize that or not.  They reelected persons fully behind the terrible policies of the transgender movement, including all that is being taught and brought before children in public schools.  They reelected persons who fully back the LGBTQ movement, although this lifestyle is anathema to God.

 

They reelected persons who back the recent government actions that are destroying the American economy and society.

 

They reelected persons who are ok with violent criminals being released back on the streets and thus the soaring crime rate in many large cities.

 

They haven’t got a clue.

 

In the last days so many are deceived.  And to those who refuse to accept the truth (of the gospel, of Jesus), God sends a spirit of delusion.  These people thus eventually are lost people.  I fear many we see and hear doing such irrational things and speaking and backing such bizarre and irrational and harmful actions are just those people.

 

So how are you going to live and act these remaining days before Jesus comes? 

 

Are you going to be out there seeking to do what you can to help God the Father draw others to Jesus, always with the guidance of the Holy Spirit?

 

Are you going to stand up for Jesus wherever and whenever needed?  You never know when the moment will be that suddenly the Lord is being trashed and dumped on and you are the only one in the room who knows him and can speak up or act in opposition to all that.  You need to decide now how you are going to act and what you are going to do.

 

Remember  Matthew 10:32-33:

 

“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.  But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

 

Obviously in all your words and actions you must be guided by the Holy Spirit.  So pray about all this.  Every day ask the Holy Spirit to orchestrate your day, to arrange all the encounters he would have you have.  Ask for more and more wisdom in representing Jesus in every situation.

 

Silence in the face of evil is evil.  We don’t need Dietrich Bonhoeffer to tell us that.

* TIME TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST ANOTHER STORM - NICOLE!

We are in mid-November and there is still another serious storm in the Atlantic heading straight for Florida and the Southeast of the US.  Once again believers need to take a stand against this storm Nicole.

 

Again remember, Jesus said believers can do the same thing he did, even greater.  He also said he would do whatever believers ask him in his name.  And the Father will give us whatever we ask him in Jesus' name.  And that we can order mountains in our life away.  We can order them thrown into the sea and if we believe and do not doubt it will be done.  (See John 14:12-14; John 16:23: Mark 11:22-23).

 

The mountain right now for those living in the target areas is the storm Nicole. 

 

So I ask everyone wherever you are to pray against this storm, to take a stand (I personally like to step outside and face in the direction of the storm, raising arm and hand with palm to the storm.  For most of us, that direction would be facing southeast.).

 

Declare:

In Jesus' name, I order the storm named Nicole to turn aside from land, to go out to sea and to diminish in power and disappear.  No storm surge, strong winds, or flooding rain.  In Jesus' name, I order the storm named Nicole to harm no people, animals, land, buildings, or boats!

You can put this in your own words, but that is what Jesus said we can do.  Be bold! Remember, he changed the weather.

 

Do it now!
